Fallbrook is just a few miles down the freeway from Temecula, but I can count on one hand the number of times I've been there. It's more rural than where I live, filled with greenery, small pubs, beautiful homes, and a pristine estate called the Grand Tradition. It's a popular wedding venue, and now that I've seen it in person, I can absolutely understand the appeal. The gardens are breathtaking, and there's even a heart shaped pond to stroll around. The restaurant has great food, surprisingly reasonably priced. Overall, the grounds scream beauty and I want to go back immediately! It's a hidden gem that everyone in the San Diego area should visit. After being sick last week, it was the perfect way to spend an afternoon.

Can I live there please! I have two cousins who live in San Diego (one of them is a news reporter for Ch 8 KFMB News...her name is Abbie Alford) and have been thinking about going down for a visit. If I do go, I'll have to visit this place :)

Oh my gosh, it looks beautiful. There was an older home like this in my grandma's neighborhood when I was a little girl. It was called the Stanrod Mansion and it looked so out of place on a street of smaller, traditional homes, but I absolutely loved it!
